as an owner of a marlin bolt, i think it is an outstanding round. i've dropped k9 sized critters at 100yds with a .22lr and i've had them do a roll and keep running after getting pelted with .357's at almost equal yardage. my great uncle doc kept his family fed with deer using .22 shorts, but last year i got tangled up with the biggest meanest opossum that took 8 rounds of .22 short to the head. i generally run outside with a five gallon bucket and they just fall over and "faint" and i scoop them up and haul them down to the river and turn them loose. this big feller bowed up and wanted to fight making me put on my brakes and retreat for the jc higgins. bullets are sure a weird thing. that's why there are so many different kinds.
